Cartridge...or a tank?!

[Freakazoid]

Well here it is:

I was on the field with my friends and we had a little one on one tournament, and we were using 2 spyder compacts since that was the only fair way, and it was actually my first time that I used one of those little adapter for little co2 cartirdges thingy. It was pretty good actually. Sure I had to change it every 20 shots, but I liked it. It makes your gun lighter and all. And you can cary lots of those little ones. So all in all, I liked it. Just wanted to know if anyone else uses that..

Using those is a major pain. Allso you are going to have so much inconsistancy and drop down with those.

[ElectricHead]

if you like having a light gun, get a remote, do not use those *** cartriges

Sometimes i use them on my pump, but putting a quick change on a pump and putting them on a semi auto are two different stories. With a semi, you can spray and pray and use up alot more balls, hence the need for Co2 Tanks, but in a game with pump, maybe 2 12 grams are all you need. You take less shots with a pump and pumps in general tend to be more gas efficient than semis. So my remomendation is if you want to keep your gun light, go for a Remote system.

The whole point of having a semi is to be able to direct more paint at an opponent ... I can't imagine only getting 20 or so shots off and then having to fumble for a cartridge ... Seems you'd be setting yourself up for taking a hit ... of course, if you're playing one-on-one and all things are equal, that's OK. but I've never played that way, there's usually at least 20 to a team on the field I play at ... no time for cartidges there.

[TLplus84]

yeah man..listen to what Muckraker...he has many many many many many many many many many many many many years of experience..LOL(it's ok muckraker...we still respect you and we'll cover you while you go to the next bunker in your wheelchair :P)

[MuckRaker]

Yeah Baby ... full speed ahead. ;) That new Warp Drive is gonna get me there fast, while I rain Paint on your Young A** ... heh heh heh

[TLplus84]

HEY MAN i'm covering you to make sure noone shoots you or you don't have a heartattack from all the excitement or anything...haha

[TLplus84]

HEY MAN i'm covering you to make sure noone shoots you or you don't have a heartattack from all the excitement or anything...haha :D

[MuckRaker]

Oh man, I feel safer already TL ... LOL :eek:

[MuckRaker]

At this rate y'all will have me signed up for the Milk of Magnesia Pro-Am or the Geritol Cup. :eek:

[TLplus84]

yeh man..just don't look at me when that "accidental" shot comes flying at the back of your head..haha

[Freakazoid]

Ahhh well I guess one on one did make a difference, I guess I'll just use my co2 tank then...by the way, how much do you all pay to get it refilled? Here prices vary from 10 to 15 bucks

[TLplus84]

10-15 dOLLARS??~!~? ARE YOU CRAZY? my 20 oz only costs me 4 bucks~! wow you're gettin jipped man....

[MuckRaker]

yeah Freak ... that seems kinda steep. I've got a 24 oz CO2 tank, I pay $6 to get it filled.

[Freakazoid]

Erm that's 15 with paintballs included :) and there is only one store in town that I know of that refills the tanks, we all go there

[TLplus84]

ahh..now that makes more sense..i was gonna say...15 for a fillup....

[MuckRaker]

$15 for air fill and paintballs, how many paintballs do you get at that price???

[TLplus84]

still..i guess they could get away with jacked up prices if they're the only place in town that fills co2 tanks...no competition so they can jack up the prices and nothing can be done aboutit.

[Counterfeit]

There is only one place in town here that fills co2. Still only $3.5 for a 12 oz and $1.50 for a 68 ci 3000 psi n2.

[Batman]

those little things are a pain, just get a remote so you can get more than 20 *** little shots. They also suck more in semis, with my hand i could pull of 20 shots in no time.

[Freakazoid]

Well it all depends. Yesterday we went to fill our tanks and everyone got about 1000 paintballs,I think if you get like 500 you pay 15 bucks, that was 32 degrees team colors. And those little cartidge thingies. And walmart used to fill tanks too, then they stopped, dunno why..

[Oreo]

That is alot here it costs 2 bucks for up to 16oz and 3-4 bucks for over that

[TLplus84]

that's not that bad...here we pay 20 cents an ounce..so for a twenty ounce....including tax is 4.20.
